THE STORY:

Please sponsor Team Inside Out during the LA Marathon on March 18th and the Charity 5k on March 17th as we raise funds for our youth programs.

Through visual arts, performing arts, and media workshops, Inside Out promotes healthy interaction among diverse at-risk and underserved Los Angeles middle-school and high school youth. Led by both specially trained teams of professional artists and high school age mentors, Inside Out bridges cultural, geographic, socioeconomic and differently-abled boundaries to support youth in creating and presenting topical theater, art and media. Our goal is to empower youth with the tools, confidence and inspiration to make a positive difference in their communities and the world... from the inside out.

Yet, it is only with support from generous contributors like you that Inside Out can continue to provide young people from disadvantaged areas a high quality arts and media education. With your help, we can continue to offer a safe place for our students to learn compassion, tolerance, and positive conflict resolution skills through creative collaborations during those critical after school hours when juvenile crime and violence triples.

This year, we have a fantastic marathon team that includes staff, board members, artists, friends and even one of our students! Please join us as we run for something by making a contribution today.

Here are just a few examples of how your gift can make a difference:

* $50 - Can purchase new props and costumes for a performance.

* $100 - Can pay for a student's room and board at Inside Out's annual camping trip in the Santa Monica mountains.

* $250 - Can sponsor a high school student's yearly participation in a mentor-leadership training program.

* $1000 - Can sponsor a student's participation in our after school program including all workshops, a field trip, and final performance.

Just click the above donate button to contribute! You may also mail a check to Inside Out Community Arts, 2210 Lincoln Boulevard, Venice, CA 90291. Please put 'marathon' in the memo section. Thank you for your generosity!

Hey There!

IN PROGRESS

It will take anywhere from 3 seconds to 1 minute for your pic to upload, depending on how big it is.

You're going to see this message every time you post a new pic. So, we're making the text really long so that it'll take you at least five picture uploads to read it all. Here's what we're thinking...While your first picture is uploading think about someone you want to kiss. When you upload your second pic think about one friend who you can beat in a race. On your third photo upload think about your favorite food that begins with the letter H. While your fourth picture is uploading think about how great it would be if you were a world class breakdancer. While your fifth picture is uploading try to think of the best candy to eat if you were a mime spending a month in New Zealand. If you upload a sixth and seventh picture please just read all of this again.

IN PROGRESS

We're setting up your Fundraiser page right now. It will take anywhere from 3 seconds to 27 seconds.
